The Dogmother Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 http://www.mr-fothergills.co.uk/search/potato+hunter If you want to have a go at potatoes next year, these are free tubers, and they say they are disease resistant…... having been hit by blight the last few years, I had given up on spuds, but might just give these a try.

Tiggy Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I've ordered mine today, not even a postage charge, do you think it must be some sort of a trial? thanks Claret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 i have a feeling it might be an error on their part but I hope not as that might mean we don't get them. Figers x'd we do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clur Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Thank you for the link - I've ordered mine too. Sounds like a marketing ploy to get people browsing the site and ordering more! Will I need to plant them straight away or can I keep them in the dark for a little bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 My order confirmation arrived today and these were labelled as free of charge so no strings attached as far as I can see! Expected delivery is from Jan onwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reikiranf Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 the leaves are poisonous I wish someone had told my chooks that, they stripped the potato plants bare I thought they wouldn't eat anything harmful to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moochoo Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Well mine arrived this morning They're a mid season variety so can't be planted up for a few months. What a bargain! They're still available according to the website so well worth a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bokbokbok Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I think I am going completely mad! I WANT SOME FREE SPUDS TOO! I signed up for an account - have added the freebies but can not find how to checkout! Can anyone point me in the right direction? The tubers are still showing as free but I wonder if the back door has been shut now? This is what I get when I click on MY ACCOUNT - I have even added something real that cost money but nothing shows up. . . Any help gratefully received Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
